Hello experts, I've got two problems with the FTP server under Mandrake 7.2. Firstly, I think I must have changed something, because FTP connections are suddenly being refused. [root@server /etc]# ftp localhost Connected to localhost.localdomain. 220 server FTP server (Version wu-2.6.1(1) Wed Jan 10 07:07:00 CET 2001) ready. Name (localhost:root): daniel 331 Password required for daniel. Password: 530 Login incorrect. Login failed. In /var/log/messages, I get: May 21 10:47:57 server ftpd[2251]: ACCESS DENIED (not in any class) TO localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] May 21 10:47:57 server ftpd[2251]: FTP LOGIN REFUSED (access denied) FROM localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1], daniel What does 'not in any class' mean? It used to work OK. The local machines are all in /etc/hosts.allow of course. The second problem is: due to having a dial-up internet connection with only occasional acess to the DNS of my ISP, when I FTP across my local network I have to wait until the DNS lookup times out. Is there a way around this? I already have the local machines listed in /etc/hosts. Cheers Daniel James News + Web Editor LinuxUser magazine http://www.linuxuser.co.uk
